Scone

(pron. Skoon). Edward I. removed to London, and placed
in Westminster Abbey, the great stone upon which the kings of Scotland
were wont to be crowned. This stone is still preserved, and forms the
support of Edward the Confessor's chair, which the British monarchs
occupy at their coronation. It is said to have been brought from
Ireland by Fergus, son of Eric, who led the Dalriads to the shores of
Argyllshire. (See Tanist-Stone.)
